Help Pablo's Family Through This Heroic & Tragic Loss
Donation protected
Hi Everyone - On Wednesday, July 17, 2024, my brother-in-law, Pablo Hernandez, was a hero and lost his life saving two children from drowning.
While visiting Weymouth Furnace, Pablo noticed 2 children struggling in the water. As he went in and pushed them to safety, he was swept under and tragically wasn't able to resurface.
Pablo was an amazing father, husband, and cook... man, could he cook! He worked at a number of Atlantic City restaurants and always seized the moment to make something exquisite for his family on a whim; his Thanksgiving turkey gravy was legendary.
No one worked harder than Pablo and his number one priority was always providing for his family. Seven years ago, when his pre-teen daughter was diagnosed with cancer, Pablo sacrificed his career to ensure he would always be by her side. He took on the role of caretaker and as always proved to be the glue that held his family together. Once back to work, even while working sometimes up to 18 hours a day, Pablo worked tirelessly on making improvements to their home, fixing their cars, and just doing all the little things that a father and husband does; all of the things that we take for granted.
Unfortunately, with his sudden and heroic passing, Pablo's wife, two daughters, and unborn grandson, will need the support of all their family, friends, and neighbors to help them today and for the foreseeable future. We truly and genuinely appreciate any support you are able to provide during this difficult time.
Thank You.
